Gloria FoamMaster FM 10 Manual

Equipment

• Safety / pressure relief valve (A)
• Valve body complete (B)
• Foam cartridges (C1 - C3)
• Flat spray nozzle (D)
• Connecting nipple (E)
• Pump pipe (F)
• Push button (G)

Intended Use

• The industrial device FM10 is designed for foaming liquid cleaning agents as far as those agents do not affect the materials used.
• The device may only be used for applying media which are suitable for foaming. Foam formation is influenced by:

1. the concentration of the medium in the solution.
2. the water hardness.
3. the disposition of the medium to foam.
4. the number of foam cartridges (C1 - C3) used. (please also refer here to the figure)

   blue foam cartridge	red foam cartridge	black foam cartridge
   liquid foam	medium foam	solid foam

   Observe the information given by the manufacturer of the medium.
   

• In practice, sprayed liquids are a mixture of various substances whose composition is only known to the manufacturer. The suitability of the unit for a specific liquid must therefore be determined before use by the user in conjunction with the manufacturer of the substance.

Foreseeable misuse

• The device isnot suitable for:
  • formic and hydrofluoric acid in any concentration.
  • acids and alkalis at concentra tions greater than the amounts quoted or as mixtures.
  • oils and fuels.
  • Media which may cause or promote cracks and fissures in the plastics used.
  • liquids at temperatures over + 40°C.
  • inflammable liquids.
  • very tenacious or sticky liquids, or liquids that leave residues, which cannot be completely poured or flushed out of the unit (oils and oil-bearing liquids).
• On request, the manufacturer of the unit can make available a detailed list of the materials used in the parts of the unit for more detailed examination.
• Unauthorised changes to the unit made by the user or inappropriate use shall render null and void the liability of the manufacturer for any damage caused as a result.

Getting Started

Health risk through leaking cleaning fluid!
A leaking device or leaking components may result in draining or spouting of cleaning fluid. For this reason, observe the following safety instructions:

• Check that the unit is in perfect condition and properly sealed each time before use. Pull up the safety / pressure relief valve(A) by hand and check that it returns to the starting position.
• Only operate or move device when standing upright.
• Inspect all screw joints for tight fitting.
• Unscrew the valve body (B) by rotating to the left out of the container for filling.
• Fill the tank, see "Max. filling volume" in the Technical data section and the tank scale for details on the maximum amount that can be put in.

Contact with cleaning fluids poses a health risk.
Observe the max. filling amount (see Technical Data) and the correct dosing given by the spray producer.

• Screw valve body(B) back in and pump up the device. Observe the safety / pressure relief valve (A) during pumping. Peak pressure is reached when the safety / pressure relief valve is triggered. Any excess pressure will escape through the safety / pressure relief valve.
• The spraying process is initiated by pressing the push button(G) on the valve body. Releasing the push button (G) immediately interrupts the spraying process.
• Pump up the unit again once the pressure has dropped to around 1.0 bar so as to ensure a con sistent distribution of the sprayed liquid.

Emptying and Service

• Any residual pressure in the tank can be vented by lifting up the knob on the safety / pressure relief valve (A).
• Unscrew the pomp carefully, at first only a few turns by left-hand rotation, so that compressed air being still in the tank can escape. Only then unscrew the pump completely and take it out of the tank.
• Empty and wash out the unit after use.

Note! Any remaining liquid in the tank can be emptied out completely through the filler opening (in case of liquids hazardous to waters see chapter "Important safety instructions" and observe the instructions of the liquid manufacturer). The type of flushing liquid to be used and how it is to be disposed of will depend on the details given by the manufacturer of the liquid to be sprayed. Also consider whether the tank is resistant to the flushing liquid.

• The pump will last much longer if the pump O-ring is lubricated from time to time with a little re si n- and acid-free grease. l If foaming is no longer effective, check whether the air inlet bores in the connecting nipple(E) are clogged, clean them if required.

Note! Above-average use due to manner of operating (including the tranport to the place of operation and the storage when not using the sprayer), influences of the surroundings (of the place of operation and the storage place), inadequate maintenance and care may lead to an early wear of the sprayer. Therefore, the sprayer should be checked for secure and serviceable state before use. It should at least be checked for externally visible damages. Expecially when there occure damages which endager the security, at least however after 2 years, the sprayer should specially be examined by one of the manufacturer's service stations.
